Fake
[Intro] I was told growing up that the less you have, the more you see. It’s all because when you get caught up in worthless things, you create An ignorant world. [Verse 1] Rising from my bed, my body feels heavy, Half-awake, but I hold steady. The window’s stained, patterned with rain, My thoughts reset in this life so plain. It shields me from judgmental eyes. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got so many dreams I want to chase and achieve, Yet I’m just another cog in the machine. It’s hard to face what I believe - I struggle to accept reality. [Chorus] Their ignorance is bliss - they never care, so why should I give sympathy? Ambitions sink into the abyss, a life that feeds on apathy. Why be such a phony, such a fake? Maybe it’s me - blind to what I can’t see, Dodging all responsibility. It’s easy to blame others initially, But it only takes a fleeting glance To look past the mask and see The lie I represent. [Verse 2] Glance and try to smile, keep my back straight, They don’t want me - they want a blank slate. Hide the tears, blend them with the rain, I told myself that for years, feeling the strain. When will this struggle ever end? [Bridge] Look between the lines, follow the crease, The crack in the glass that brings no peace. Keep it close before it slips through, Water seeping - nothing new. I’ll let it in as part of myself, So the lie I live gains meaning as well. [Chorus] Their ignorance is bliss - they never care, so why should I give sympathy? Ambitions sink into the abyss, a life that feeds on apathy. Why be such a phony, such a fake? Maybe it’s me - blind to what I can’t see, Dodging all responsibility. It’s easy to blame others initially, But it only takes a fleeting glance To look past the mask and see The lie I represent. [Post-Chorus] Their ignorance remains - a perfect, hollow harmony. Still, I drown beneath ideals I swore were me. The same reflection, fading and frayed, Maybe this time I’ll face the charade. It’s easier to run than to repent, But I’m tired of the act I represent. [Outro] Such a fake, phony, Fake, phony, Phony... Phony... Phony... This lie I live.
